As part of this class, an individualized education and skill plan for your child will be developed in collaboration with you.
By focusing on these skills, we will build a strong foundation for your child’s learning.
While your child is engaged in play-based activities, they will be getting targeted, small group instruction to help them build important foundational skills.
Skills they will build upon for the rest of their lives.
These small therapeutic groups will focus on the specific needs of your child while utilizing the benefits of peer interaction and learning.
